Description
- This Application claims priority on Canadian Patent Application No. 2,643,664 filed on Oct. 30, 2008 and on U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/193,256 filed on Nov. 12, 2008, which are herein incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates to hangers for supporting objects on a wall and, more particularly, to a hook and anchor assembly for attachment to hollow walls, such as wallboards which typically comprise a relatively thick layer of gypsum sandwiched between paper layers.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,219,302 issued to Smith on Nov. 23, 1965 teaches a
hanger 10 of stiff yet flexible wire construction engaged through a wall 11. Thecurved portion 16 exerts pressure on the inside wall surface and pulls aleg portion 14 of the hanger against the front or inner surface of the wall and thus into firm or even locked relationship therewith. Thehanger 10 includes an engagement portion 19 which is threaded to receive anut 20 thereon for reasons which are unclear. Perhaps, thenut 20 acts as a lip to retain the wire of a picture hanging from section 19 of thehanger 10. Various terminal endings for the hangers are shown inFIGS. 2 to 4 . In this patent, thenut 20 is not used to tighten thehanger 10 against the wall. - U.S. Pat. No. 4,325,528 issued to Martin on Apr. 20, 1982 discloses a bracket which has a pointed end and an elbow, and the installation steps thereof are shown in
FIGS. 2 to 4 . The bracket appears to be sufficiently fixed in this patent without having to be engaged by a distinct component in view of its portion 2 abutting the wall W. - U.S. Pat. No. 4,509,713 issued to Hogg on Apr. 9, 1985, No. 2,789,783 issued to Jones on Apr. 23, 1957 and No. 5,028,030 issued to Lewis on Jul. 2, 1991 are similar in each disclosing a hanger which includes an arcuate section having a pointed distal end which is driven through the wall while rotating the hanger until a flange thereof abuts the inside or front wall with a hook being provided proximally of this flange. In Lewis, there is no flange but the hook acts as both an abutment on the inner surface of the wall as well as a component for hanging pictures.
- U.S. Pat. No. 2,408,366 issued to Boyer on Oct. 1, 1946 discloses a toggle bolt consisting of a threaded
bolt portion 10 and a L-shaped toggle 16 displaceable relative to thebolt portion 10 between axially and perpendicularly oriented positions, as seen inFIGS. 1 and 2 , respectively. The assembly of thebolt portion 10 and thetoggle 16 is inserted through an opening 23 defined in anarticle 22 and thetoggle 16 is then rotated to assume its position ofFIG. 2 . Thebolt portion 10 is then held stationary by engaging a screw driver in aslot 24 defined at the proximal end of thebolt portion 10 while a nut 21 is rotated against aconcave washer 20 so as to compress a gasket 19. The assembly then becomes firmly secured to thearticle 22. InFIG. 5 , an article 25 is shown held firmly against a supportingwall 26 by way of the general bolt and toggle assembly described hereinbefore. The construction of this toggle bolt results from the assembly of a number of components. - PCT Publication No. WO-00/25030 published on May 4, 2000 in the name of Cobra Fixations Cie Ltée—Cobra Anchors Co. Ltd. discloses a hook (H, H″) and anchor (A, A″) assembly for use with hollow panels (W) such as walls and ceilings made of gypsum. The assembly includes an anchor (A, A″) having first (10, 80/88) and second (12, 90) sections, a hook (H, H″) adapted to be secured to the anchor (A, A″) and to abut a visible surface (O) of the hollow wall (W). The anchor (A, A″) is adapted to be engaged to the hollow wall (W) such that its second section (12, 90) is located behind the wall (W) with the first section (10, 56, 80/88) extending through a hole defined in the wall (W). The hook (H, H″) has a wall-engaging flange (44, 94). The hook (H, H″) and the first section (10, 80/88) of the anchor (A, A″) are provided with adjustable cooperating threads for connecting them together while allowing for various relative positions therebetween, whereby the distance between the second section (12, 90) and the wall engaging flange (44, 94) may be varied such that the second section (12, 90) and the wall engaging flange (44, 94) act as a vice on the wall (W) for tightly installing the anchor (A, A″) and the hook (H, H″) thereon. Also, the anchor (A′) may comprise successive first and second sections (54, 56) having different threads with the first section (54) being adapted to be engaged in a wooden member and with the hook being adapted to be engaged to the second section (56) such as to abut the wooden member.
- In spite of these various devices, there remains a need for a wall-mounted anchor of the type described hereinafter.
- It is therefore an aim of the present invention to provide a novel wall-mounted anchor for hollow walls.
- Therefore, in accordance with the present invention, there is provided an anchor assembly for use with hollow panels, comprising a holding member and an anchor, the anchor being adapted to penetrate a hollow panel and, once the anchor assembly has been installed to the hollow panel, to be secured thereto while the holding member, which is joined to the anchor, is located on a visible side of the hollow panel, the anchor includes a first and a second portion, the first portion, when the anchor assembly is installed to the hollow panel, extending through a hole defined in the panel while the second portion is located behind the panel, an elbow portion being provided on the anchor between the first and second portions for allowing the anchor to be pivoted when being installed in the panel from a first position where the second portion is inserted though the panel to form the hole therein and a second position where the second portion extends behind.
- Other objects, advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent upon reading of the following non-restrictive description of embodiments thereof, given by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- Reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings, showing by way of illustration an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, and in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a front elevation view of a wall anchor assembly in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a right side elevation view of the wall anchor assembly ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIGS. 3 to 6 are successive partly cross-sectional side elevation views showing the installation of the wall anchor assembly ofFIGS. 1 and 2 into a wall; and -
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the wall anchor assembly ofFIG. 1 . - Turning to the figures of the appended drawings, a wall anchor assembly A according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
-
FIGS. 1 , 2 and 7 illustrate the anchor assembly A in isolation. The anchor assembly A is adapted to be mounted in a vice-like fashion to a hollow wall W, such as will be described hereinbelow with reference toFIGS. 3 to 6 . The wall W is typically a hollow wall, such as a wallboard, that is a thick gypsum layer coated on each side thereof with a paper layer. - The anchor assembly A includes a
hook 10 and ananchor 12, which are herein made of unitary construction, for instance via a molding process. Thehook 10 herein remains visible after the anchor assembly A has been mounted to the wall W, typically abutting a visible surface V of the hollow wall W. It is understood that thehook 10 can be replaced by other suitable components depending on the intended use of the anchor assembly A. - The
anchor 12 has a general elbowed configuration and, more particularly, comprises a head portion 14 (first portion) adapted to extend through a hole O defined in the wall W and a vice portion 16 (second portion) extending substantially at right angles from thehead portion 14 as a result of anelbow portion 17 being mergingly provided therebetween. Theanchor 12 is adapted to be engaged to the hollow wall W such that thevice portion 16 is located behind the wall W and abuts a hidden surface H of the wall W, with thehead portion 14 extending through the hole O defined in the wall W, this hole O being formed during the installation of the anchor assembly A. - The distance between a
rear surface 18 of thehook 10 and thevice portion 16 of theanchor 12 substantially corresponds to a thickness of the wall W (i.e. the distance between the visible and hidden surfaces V and H of the wall W), such as to act as a vice on the wall W for tightly installing the anchor assembly A thereto. - The
hook 10 includes ahook member 20, and is also provided with aspike 22 that extends rearwardly from therear surface 20 thereof for engagement into the wall W (seeFIG. 6 ), as will be described in more details hereinbelow. - The
head portion 14 of theanchor 12 includes a pair oflateral fins 24 that extend outwardly from opposite sides of thehead portion 14. Thehead portion 14 also defines a pair ofdepressions 36 on opposite sides thereof and adjacent to thefins 24. - The
vice portion 16 includes a pointeddistal end 26 having a conical shape and being typically provided on an outer surface thereof with amale thread 28. Thevice portion 16 also includes a generallycylindrical section 32. The pointeddistal end 26 and thecylindrical section 32 define achannel 30. - The pointed
distal end 26 is used to perforate the gypsum wall by manual rotation of the anchor assembly A with themale thread 28 providing assistance for gradually introducing again by rotation, thedistal end 26 in the wall W until thedistal end 26 has extended through the wall W. The configuration of thedistal end 26 renders easy and substantially effortless the introduction of thevice portion 16 in and through the wall W. - The
distal end 26 defines a leadingcutting edge 34 which easily cuts through the paper and the gypsum layers of the hollow wall W and which directs debris from the wall W into thechannel 30. Indeed, thechannel 30 collects the gypsum wall debris instead of forcing these debris outwardly of thevice portion 16. - The
elbow portion 17 of theanchor 12 causes the latter to deviate sideways with respect to an axis of thehead portion 14 such that thevice portion 16 ends up extending substantially parallel to the wall W and is in position to abut the hidden surface H of the wall W, in vice-like fashion, when the anchor assembly A is installed in the wall W. - The
anchor 12 also includes an outwardly directedvertical fin 38 located on the inside of theelbow portion 17 and connected to both the head andvice portions anchor 12 further defines acam surface 40 that will be explained in detail hereinbelow. -
FIGS. 3 to 6 show the installation of the anchor assembly A in the wall W. InFIG. 3 , the anchor assembly A is rotated, as perarrow 42, in engagement with and into the wall W such that thevice portion 16 defines the hole O in the wall, as seen inFIG. 4 . The anchor assembly A is then rotated alongarrow 44, as shown inFIG. 5 wherein theelbow portion 17 is engaged in the hole O.FIG. 6 illustrates the final position of the anchor assembly A in the wall W. - During the installation, the
distal end 26 of theanchor 12 forms the hole O, i.e. a calibrated hole, for the anchor assembly A to be inserted and secured into position. - The
clearing channel 30 will guide the displaced friable material (plaster) from the wall W out of the hole O, during the drilling process. - The <<L>> shape of the
anchor 12 is designed such that it will locate behind the friable material (drywall), i.e. the wall W, and maximize the bearing surface to increase the load capacity. - The
cam surface 40 is designed such that during the rotational movement of the anchor assembly A and insertion in the drilled hole O, it will raise the anchor assembly A (seeFIG. 5 ) and position the anchor assembly A such that it will cover completely the drilled hole O and will fill the drilled hole O in order to use the entire surface of the hole O as a bearing surface when load is applied on the anchor assembly A, typically via thehook 10 thereof. - The reinforcement or
vertical fin 38 increases the strength of the anchor assembly A and will locate and embed into the drywall W when the anchor assembly A reaches its final installation position (seeFIG. 6 ). This will prevent rotational movement of the anchor assembly A, with respect to the wall W, once installed and loaded. - The two
lateral fins 24 are adapted to increase the holding resistance of the anchor assembly A in the drywall W, in that they increase the load surfaces bearing on the drywall material when weight is applied on thehook 10 and produces downward forces on theanchor 12 and thehead portion 14 thereof located in the wall W. - The positioning and stabilizing
spike 22, once the anchor assembly A has been inserted into the drilled hole O, positions and secures the anchor assembly A in the rotational axes, in addition to adding strength and grip to the anchor assembly A. - The
anchor 12 is designed to allow for it to be pivoted from its positions inFIG. 4 toFIG. 6 , once thedistal end 26 has defined the hole in the wall W and has completely passed therethrough, from a position where thevice portion 16 is co-axial with an axis of the hole O defined in the wall W (FIG. 4 ) to the vice position of thevice portion 16 shown inFIG. 6 . Theanchor 12 is designed to prevent damage to the hole O defined in the wall W when theanchor 12 is pivoted therein, and until thehead portion 14 has been translationally fitted into the hole O. Thehead portion 14 can slightly taper from thehook 10 towards theelbow portion 17 for fitting tightly in the hole O in the wall W. - As previously mentioned, the
hook 10 can take various forms of holding members, including forms other than that of a “hook” per se, such as holding systems of all kinds, e.g. for securing towel racks, plant holders, mirrors, shelving, etc. - Although the present invention has been described hereinabove by way of embodiments thereof, it may be modified, without departing from the nature and teachings of the subject invention as described herein.
